We're here at Montex Booth at Computex 2024 where they have sponsored a video
where we're going to look at a whole whack of cases that they have that look really quite nice
and also are all very reasonably priced. This one right here is the HS01 Mini
and as you can see, it is quite a pretty little guy.
Now this right here, it is not real leather. You don't really wanna screw around with that
if you're shipping to a whole bunch of different countries.
Moisture can be annoying and you didn't have to kill animals for it.
So that's a plus. But what we have here is a 32 liter case
that has up to ATX support. Now we aren't able to fit in ATX
with the fans on the bottom, but we can come in here.
This is a prototype. They all seem a little bit concerned about me just taking it apart right now, but it's fine.
But the layout is really smart. So right now it is set up for an MATX build
and that is what it's designed for. But you can take out these fans on the bottom
and fit in a full ATX motherboard if you so choose.
And you also have support for a 360 millimeter radiator
up at the top and we have our power supply at the front.
Now this set up here is good for like a 4080, 4070,
something like that. But if you have a big boy 49 you are going to run into the power supply.
Fortunately though, if you take out this fan and want only a 240 millimeter radiator,
you can move the whole power supply up, which will give you enough clearance for a GPU
to just go all the way across this guy.
So you can have an insane amount of power
in something that is just this big. That's just so pretty.
Coming around to the back, we can see that we have back to front support
like every good case in 2024. And we also have fans on the side
and the cable management, it's gonna be a little bit of a struggle
but you'll be able to figure it out. Especially when you find this thing is just $96
and that includes four pre-installed fans, three in the bottom and one in the back.
Heck yeah. But if you're not looking for a small case,
here we have the HS01, not many.
It's just the HS01 and it is really neat.
Now the main thing that they have done here is played around once again
with where the power supply goes. So if you look, it's actually up here right at the top
and what allows them to do is sink down fans into the bottom,
which helps a little bit with performance and a lot of bit with,
it's just looking kind of cool and really unique.
And moving over here to the fully built system, it's just a really unique look.
One thing that's fun is that if you look, this RGB strip that's along the bottom
is actually connected with Pogo pins. So you can just take it off, works great.
The pins are right there, put it back on, boom.
Your RGB works again. One thing that's also cool is if you look on the front,
these fans have two options of where exactly they go.
Right now they're centered, which looks good for just looking good sake,
but you can remove these two screws up here and move it to the left,
which gives you a tiny bit more performance, sacrificing just not being quite in the middle.
Looking in the back, we can see this great big fan and RGB hub,
which does come included. And also you can see just how strange
the power supply is right there, but it does allow pretty easily cable management.
And of course we do have back to front support here as well.
One thing that was a little bit of oversight on this prototype is that right now,
you cannot access the power button on the power supply,
but in the future, and when this is actually available, there will be a nice big hole here.
So you can plug it, unplug it, and just hit that button if you want.
Moving back around to the front, one of the things that is fun
is that they have a really streamlined look, where you have all of your like junky connectors
and stuff down here, if your motherboard wasn't back to front,
and they have just this nice little panel right here, which just covers that up,
so you don't need to see those cables. You can get the HSO-1 in either black or silver,
they're the same price, and it comes with five RGB fans for just $99.
Not too bad. But maybe you have a little bit more money,
specifically $20 more money, and you want to spend that on curved glass.
Look at this. I cannot believe what they're able to get curved glass into a case that has that kind of a price tag,
because I know a lot of manufacturers have talked about
just how heckin' expensive it can be. They said that they're able to heat up the glass
and do the curving, and the process is still a little bit difficult.
About 80% of them are fine, but 20% of them just kind of explode
while they're making them. But the good news is, once they are made and installed,
none of them have exploded afterwards, so you don't have to worry about that at all.
What's also really cool here is that below the curved glass,
they have two 80 millimeter fans that they say deliver about a one to two degree
drop in temperatures on your GPU.
Because you don't want to be a saggy boy, they do include a GPU bracket from the factory,
and also five fans, so the two 80 millimeters right here,
two 140s on the side, and a 140 on the back.
Moving around to the back, you can see that we have back to front support once again,
and you will be getting a controller, but more like the one that we saw before,
not this one specifically. If you're willing to sacrifice that nice curved glass
for a little bit of performance though, we have the Sky 3 performance right here.
It's a prototype, so probably it's a good idea.
It's a prototype, all right, I'll leave it. With this guy, you get three 140 millimeter fans
in the front, a 120 in the back, and that same GPU saggy thing,
and also a little bit of maybe walnut right here. They're not 100% sure what type of wood this is going to be,
because you need to pick a type of wood that's going to be fine, and Asia where it's hot and humid,
and Europe and Canada where it's really cold and not humid,
and also import laws and equipment, they'll figure it out.
Well, it's a bit harder to figure out though, is how they managed to make the King 65 Pro be so inexpensive.
This is apparently the cheapest dual chamber case
coming in at $89. Not bad, let's have a look in here.
As you can see, tempered glass on two sides,
very, very nice, and there we go. Your power supply has its own little area to do its thing.
We have some fans that are intaking through there,
so all of your other stuff can stay nice and cool. Unfortunately, there is no back to front support
in this guy here, but there is support for hard drives if you still have those for some reason.
In here, if you are to buy it, you will get 240 millimeter fans on the side,
and a 120 at the back for that $89 price tag,
which is pretty heckin' good. Also looks like we have room for a 360 rat up there,
360 down here, very nice.
For those of you that want to spend very little on your computer case though,
and more on your components, we have the XR series.
This one right here with the two glass panels comes in at $64, very nice, and even nicer,
the one with mesh on the front comes with 4120s,
and the not mesh version glass panel comes with 3,
which is why the mesh one costs a little bit more,
and it's pretty bog standard in the back.
Once again, we don't have any back to front support just to save on those tooling costs,
but realistically, at this kind of a price point, you're probably not buying one of those
extra fancy motherboards anyway. Also these are available right now.
Maybe you do want to spend a bunch of your money though, which is where their flagship case,
the King 95 Mega Pro comes in,
and the party trick of this guy right here is that these three fans can move out 30 degrees.
That apparently can drop GPU temps by up to five degrees Celsius,
which is really impressive, or if you don't want to do that, then just go right back there, very easy.
This thing comes with a massive seven fans pre-installed,
so we have six inverted fans here blowing that way,
and up and in, and one down at back, meaning you're going to have no trouble cooling
even EAT exports, which you can fit in here with an included bracket.
Of course, around the back, we have back to front support, and this thing is $200.
Now that you have your case though, you need to be able to cool your CPU,
I would highly recommend that, and a good way to do that
is using the Hyperflow ARGB 360.
This thing right here is 27 millimeters thick,
has a pump down in there, and a $96 price tag,
which is pretty heckin' good for a 360 millimeter radiator.
Now, this being, you know, you haven't had a Montec AIO in your computer before,
so maybe you're a little bit concerned about the reliability, and they were concerned you would be concerned as well,
which is why it has a six year warranty with it.
And of course, if this guy's a little bit too expensive, you can spend $85 for the 240 millimeter version,
which is probably good for most CPUs. And speaking of excellent warranties,
we have their Titan PLA power supplies. These guys right here are made by CSonic,
and come with a 10 year warranty, because CSonic's very good at making power supplies.
We love those guys. And we really love that Montec sponsored this video.
